In "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End," Drake comes out of retirement to continue hunting for fortune and treasure, Slash Gear reported. And like other explorers, it will not be an easy route to achieving his mission. Drake will go around the world and will be left to make critical decisions on who to save and who to sacrifice, making it a curious game to check out. With the lull, folks can even try out different scenarios in the game to see how things turn out.

If being an explorer is not a gamer's cup of tea then perhaps trying out "Dirt Rally 2.0" will be of more interest. The racing game puts players to test, fulfilling their urge for the need for speed, high adrenaline, and more dirt.

The two titles will be available starting Apr. 7 via the PlayStation Plus subscription service. They are free to play until May 4. In the meantime, subscribers can still enjoy the games from last month. These are "Shadow of Colossus" and "Sonic Forces" which will be up until Apr. 6.
